TCheckBox transparent?
«

Moin!
Is it possible to make the text background of a CheckBox transparent?
I tried it with .Color:=clNone, but then the text background becomes white.
I need a CheckBox with a transparent background because my self-drawn window contains a color gradient.
I'm using Lazarus 2.0.6 on Windows.

On a Delphi website I just found the suggestion to label the CheckBox with a TLabel instead.
This seems to be the easiest and quickest solution.
But I would be interested to know why it is not possible to make a CheckBox transparent.

If you have a self drawn surface then you can also self draw the check box..
If you want to play some UF8 stuff, there is a ready made font character that has a Check mark that
you can print.
Or you could do what many do and that is to have an ICON image of the checked and unchecked state.

Strangely enough, the Checkbox DOES have transparent background when placed directly on a form. On a panel, however, the text is opaque. And I looked at Delphi 7 and XE 10.3: Here the Checkbox caption is transparent both on form and panel in both versions. (All tests done on Win 10).
So, this looks like a bug to me. You should file a bug report.

Indeed, it's transparent, tested on Windows 10, also with a vertical gradient as background.
Edit: And BGRAControls one is not transparent, checked that too, seems that we inherited from TCustomControl to handle focus...
